What is Vegetable laxative?
Vegetable laxative is psyllium husk. It contains mucilage that swells on exposure to water and provides an indigestible mucilaginous mass in the intestines, thereby causing lubrication, contraction of the smooth muscles of the intestinal walls, and thus stimulating bowel movement.
